Tampa to the Panama Canal & Central America Cruise Reviews

We were 28 days on the Connie 3 cruise back to back starting January 24th. We felt that the ship condition was very good. You had to look for problems. It is ready for a refurbishment, but some imperfections didn't affect our enjoyment of the cruise. We like the smaller ships, so the Connie was a good choice for us. The cabin was clean and very serviceable. Overall, the entire ship was clean. ...

We sailed on the Constellation from December 10th to 22nd in a Royal suite. The itinerary was the 12-night Ultimate Caribbean & The Americas, with ports of call in George Town (Grand Cayman), Cartagena (Colombia), Colon (Panama), Puerto Limon (Costa Rica) and Cozumel (Mexico). This was our first cruise since the pandemic. We were two weeks away from our South Pacific cruise on the Solstice at ...

Given some of the negativity about Connie I was somewhat apprehensive. I am not sure what some folks expect but I have to say this is a wonderful ship with terrific staff. The food was excellent and whilst the staterooms are due an upgrade there was certainly nothing wrong with our Aqua Veranda cabin. The public areas are immaculate and there is always plenty of space to sit down and relax. ...

Concierge at michael's club was awesome. The food and service at Luminae were off the charts. The Panama canal transit tour was great. Cartagena was a beautiful place and loved it. Porto Limone is a dump and waste of a day. Usually like Cozumel but with 7 ships in port it was like times square. Crew were great, very little wait for drinks etc. The only waiting time was for a burger at the pool ...

After having our 2 previous Panama Canal cruises canceled due to the pandemic, we finally made it on board. It was so nice being back on a ship again. This trip was all about relaxation. We turned Platinum on this cruise. Tampa - Embarkation The Pride was docked at terminal 3. Tampa is a pretty easy port to navigate. The parking desk is quite close to terminal 2 and 3. Terminal 6 has ...

My sister and her hubby had chosen this cruise over a year ago and we thought it would be fun to join them for the 10 days. Our mom had passed in November and this was a way of celebrating her life. She loved cruising and margaritas so we signed up for the trip. We left our east coast Florida home on the 17th and spent the night in Ybor city about 3 miles from the cruise terminal. We chose ...

We chose this 8-night cruise onboard the Carnival Pride for one reason: the Panama Canal. A Panama Canal Cruise has been on our bucket list and we were thrilled when we discovered this cruise fit into our schedule. We are frequent Carnival cruisers, but we were a little apprehensive about the age of the Carnival Pride. The Pride showed its age, but I loved the nostalgic feel of the ship. ...

This was our first cruise back after the Pandemic slowed down. Once we cleared the mandatory Covid test at the port we boarded quickly and with lots of well wishes from the staff we passed. The ship was spotlessly clean. The staff was extremely happy to have us on board! There were only about 900 passengers on board, so there was never a wait for anything. Restaurants had immediate seating, ...

I had heard that Celebrity Constellation had good food, great entertainment, and offered a grand experience. Yes! All of my high expectations were met. We traveled with another family, and we all found different adventures to enjoy. The fitness trainer was excellent. The spa was perfect. The restaurants had such variety, the food both beautiful and delicious. The entertainment was Broadway ...
